Pros

Lots of really talented and driven employees, who choose Ellevest because they believe in the mission, and are committed to it. Nice office space, lot of snacks, generous vacation policy and flexible work-from-home options.

Cons

Politically charged and tense atmosphere. Lots of reactive decision making and short term solution focus. Limited opportunities for career growth, the CEO's decision is the only one that matters, and all those talented and driven employees are not being given the opportunity to shine and contribute. Management generally feels ill-equipped.

Pros

I genuinely have to say this is the best job I’ve ever had in my entire life. The work life balance was immaculate. My manager was every’s dream manager. I had a fantastic team that I worked with. The company had a wonderful mission and with it being women driven it was very collaborative in a way that helped the company and each each other thrive.

Cons

My only con is that they had a wave of layoffs and as you can see publicly in the post EV no longer services clients unless they are affluent and with that, a lot of business had to be let go to Bettermen. Although the staff didn’t get another company transfer.
